LSU’s SEC opponents from 2026 to 2029, including its permanent rivals, were revealed on the SEC Network on Tuesday night. And there weren’t any surprises as far as the three teams the Tigers would be playing each year.
The Tigers and Texas A&M have met each year since 2011, a year before the Aggies came to the SEC. They’ll continue that arrangement with 2026 and 2028’s games being played in Death Valley and 2027 and 2029’s at Kyle Field.
Also continuing, as expected, is the Battle of the Boot. LSU visits Arkansas in 2026 and 2028 before the Razorbacks travel to Baton Rouge in 2027 and 2029.
The Magnolia Bowl vs. Ole Miss will carry on as well, as it has every year since 1945. It’s a road game for the Tigers in 2026 and 2028 and a home game in 2027 and 2029.
LSU’s conference schedule in 2026 also features Alabama, Mississippi State, and Texas at home and Auburn, Kentucky, and Tennessee on the road. Those home and away arrangements will flip in 2028.
In 2027, the Tigers host Mizzou, Vanderbilt, and Oklahoma and travel to Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. Those home games become road games — and vice versa – in 2029.
